Been playing Distant Stars. Added Minor factions... boom.

My custom maps no longer function

from Sins Forums

Galaxy Forge won't load the maps, neither will E4X Galaxy Forge.

I'm running all distant stars mods, and I am irked. Everything has been "supremely stable without issue" until I downloaded the minor factions DLC. Since the minor factions DLC was already there in the game, but not turned on, I'm not understanding how this broke so hard.

I have a dump file, but naturally since I'm running a modded game, I'm pretty much hosed on that front (unless someone can direct me on how to read it?) I tried windows debug tools but that got me nowhere fast.

Regular maps load fine... so its has to be the map.

Mods I'm running

It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't spent so long relearning it all over again...

Harpo and/or GoaFan still around?

It will more than likely dump if you try anything else.

Well crap. I guess I shouldn't have gotten the DLC... it can't possible add that much to the game.... How does one deactivate it on steam?

To deactivate DLC on Steam right click on the game, go to properties and then DLC and select as you wish.

Yeah, I found it like 10 seconds after I posted and then felt dumb.

So I tried just #5 on your list. It still crashed. It has to be the map.

I take that back. I turned on Dev mode. It loaded my map just fine with no errors....

 

I guess I play in dev mode now.

The mod works with Rebellion v1.94 and all the DLC's.
